There are many people who file Income Tax Return early so that their refund can also come soon. But do you have any idea how many days after filing your ITR, the refund is processed? Actually, the refund processing starts when the taxpayers e-verify their returns after filing ITR. After this, the refund comes within about 4-5 weeks. But if your refund has not come even after so much time, then there may be something wrong somewhere. It should be checked once. Know here what is the way to check the ITR refund status and what is the reason for the refund getting stuck.

Check the status like this.

First of all, go to the official website of the Income Tax Department https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/.

Now you will see the income tax return form on the screen.

After this, click on the option from the drop-down list below the form and select ITR.

Now you have to enter the assessment year and submit it.

After this, to check the status of a refund, you have to click on ITR Acknowledgment Number.

After this, the status of ITR refund will be shown on the screen.

This is the second way

First of all go to https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/oltas/refundstatuslogin.html.

On scrolling down the page, you will be asked for two types of information, one is PAN number and the second is the year for which the refund is pending, enter these details.

Now you have to fill the captcha code.

After this, click on Proceed. The status will be in front of you.

Information is also available through SMS

The Income Tax Department also gives information about your refund status through your email and SMS. If your refund has been processed, then you can get information about it through SMS or email. If there is any problem or error regarding the refund, then also the department will give you this information.

These mistakes can be the reason for the refund getting stuck.

To get a refund, you not only have to file the income tax return but also get it e-verified. Until you e-verify the ITR, your return will not be processed. After e-verification, it may take 4-5 weeks for the refund to come. So do not forget to do this work. Apart from e-verification, refund can also get stuck due to some mistakes like Aadhaar not being linked to PAN, not responding to the e-mail sent by the Income Tax Department, TDS not matching, your account number or IFSC code being wrong, etc.
